Salvation BenefactOrs.

At II o'clock last night, Captain
Peckham and wife, of the Salvation
Army, were made the recipients OF
some valuable and useful presents
from the members of the Salvation
Army, including a suit of clothes for
the captain, and a handsome dress
pattern for his wife, together with
a large supply of groceries. and
eatables, enough to supply the "souI
saving" workers for some time to
come. These were given as evidences
of the high esteem in which their CO..
workers held them. Both the captain
and his wife evinced considerable sur
prise, and were touched to a great
extent, by this unexpected act
of kindness on their part. The
captain thanked his benefactors in q
most earnest manner, and after spend
ing a short time in pleasantries and
exchanging compliments, incident to
the occasion among themselves, the
donating party departed we'll pleased
with their evenings work.

Arrived This Morning.

VIM. Martin, who was arrested last
Wednesday, on a telegram received
by Marshal Jackson, from the chief of
police at Green Bay, Wis, came near
being released yesterday, owing to the
fact that it was believed. that the
authorities had decided not to come for
the prisoner. Marshal Jack
son made arrangements to re-
lease the prisoner last night, but
ne received a telegram last evening
from the Green Bay chief, who was
at Jefferson City, stating that he
would be here on the first train, and
to hold the prisoner until he arrived.
with requisition papers. As the first
train from Jefferson City came in at
$3.50 this morning, the officer will
have possession of his man by the time
this meets the eye of the public.

FIRST VISIT in 4 YEARS.
The Doris Il COlvin Circus i'm
Kansas City-A Pleasing
Entertainment

The streets were crowded yesterday
with people who had come to witness
the two performances given by Doris
& Colvin's circus at Sixteenth ami
Lydia. Theae were fully 10000 PEG
pie present in the afternoon while the
tents were filled almost to overhowing
in the evening. There were many
new and interesting features the
leaping and vaulting, the graceful lady
whose performances on the globe were
a marvel of skill, the thirty-One horse
act-all are worthy of commentator.
The representation of the attack on
Custer while, to the regret of the
small boy, the CORY features were
omitted, was well done, as was the at.
tack ON the stage coach, and everyone
seemed to enjoy witnessing them. As
a whole, it is by far the best circus
that has visited Kansas City this year.
The circus, menagerie, hippodrome
and Wild West are all complete, each
being an entire show in itself. Kan

Insane WOman's Freak.

The insane woman referred to In
Fridays BAzoo, took in the town tha
evening, and succeeded in giving sew.
eral ladies good fright. One lady
in particular, the mother of DR.. g. S.
Durand, residing on East Boonville
street, was a victim of the demented
woman's eccentricities. About
o'clock Friday evening, Mrs. Durand
had supper prepared and was waiting
for her son, when the insane woman
walked into the house and commenced
to jabber her unintellIgible German.
ALI that Mrs. Durand could under
stand was, that she valued baggage
check, which she carried, at 81 200.
After talking at a terrific gait
for some time, she deliberately
seated herself at the table, and began
eating supper. In the meantime Mrs.
Durand had become terrible frighten-
ed and was in the act of calling a
neighbor, when her son came home,
and after some difficulty succeeded in
getting the woman out of the house.

A just Acquittal.

The charge preferred against Mrs.
Minnie Nauman, of stealing a silver
castor, from John Keller, was not sus-
tanned by the jury before Justice Fish
er, Friday afternoon. Mrs. Nauman
is sixty-three years of age, and bears
an unblemished character, which fact
was testified to by number of respon-
sible witnesses. When the case came
up about five weeks ago, and was con-
tinued, the BAzoo contained an ac-
count which reflected discredit upon
the aged lady, but this was done
through wrong impression given a
reporter.
John Keller was arrested, and fined
before the.Recorder last week, for dis
turbing the peace, and failing to pro-
duce the wherewith, served it out
upon the rock pile. This, together,
with the fact of his general character,
no doubt, had its influence upon the
jury, in arriving at a verdict.

Butler Drilling.

Bates county Record.
1t was half-past 10 o'clock on Thurs
day morning last, when drilling com.
menced at the gas wells. For ten
days previous to that time Mr.. Wiley
and his able assistants had worked
vigorously to get the machinery up,
and from the magnitude of the work
it was well and expeditiously done.
The first hole is being put down by
the drilling company to obtain a sup
ply of water, sufficient to run their
engine, and is some two feet north of
the contract hole. At II o'clock yes
terday morning, at a depth of
seventy-three feet, vein of
coal five feet in thickness was
passed through. At the time of
going to press the drill was down
eighty-fve feet and working in soap
stone. Mr.. Wiley expected to cease
boring for water last evening, as the
indications were, that he had obtained
a sufficient supply. If so, he will
commence on the contract well this
morning. The drill is being run con-
tinuously, and will only be stopped
over Sundays. AS the contract we'll
goes down, careful notes will be kept
of what is beneath us and full partic-
uIars of anything valuable found viii
be given the public. Well stock has
already taken a boom, as the discovery
of five foot vein of coal, is of itself
worth more to Butler than ten times
the total cost on the entire project.

National Bank of this city, held this
oath day of Sept, 1887, Albert Park
err, Esq, rendered his resignation as

er may hereafter cast his lot, that his
business success may be commensurate
with his deserts, as evidenced by his
record with this bank, and that he

Bank Change.

The directors of the Third National
Bank met yesterday, when Albert
Parker rendered his resignation as
president, after which some very com.
plimentary and deserving resolutions
were passed by the board, which are
published elsewhere this morning.
Captain Parker was one of the
founders of the bank and has been
its president since its organization,
and the resolutions speak facts when
they say, much credit is due him for
its success as bank. The BAzoo be-
speaks for him the kind offices of
people in any other locality, wher-
ever he may locate.
The directors elected J. n. Daily,
president, and A. P. Morey, vice
president of the bank, yesterday. No
better selections could have been made
for the places. They are both we'll
known as conservative and reliable
business men, who have the unbound
ed con fdence of all, wherever known.

a strike Friday morning. A BAzoo
reporter made an investigation, and
learned that such was not the case.
Two brick layers quit work, owing to
a misunderstanding between them and
contractor Mercer, relative to wages,
otherwise work was going as usual.
Those acquainted with the disagree.
ment, state that Mr.. Mercer is paving
first class wages, and their co-laborers
think they had no just grounds for
complaint. The sewer has been cem-

Dealing UDjustly With Friends.
Lamar Democrat.

Lamar Democrat.
In the fight between Congressman
Heard and the Sedalia BAzoo, there
is wide difference of opinion. Orig
inally the BAzoo was friendly to
Heard and the Democrat opposed to
him. The Democrat at that time
edited by Mr.. Russell, who had fought
Heard, secured the Sedalia postofice,
through Heard's influence, and Mr..
Goodwin, who while not asking
for Office, still Supposed the
principle of conciliating enemies, and
neglecting your friends, concluded
that Mr.. Heard had dealt with him
and his friends in an unjust manner.
This gave rise originally to the bitter
unkind feeling. Mr.. Heard has lately
written a letter to the BAzoo warning
Mr.. Goodwin that he Goes not propose
to take any more abuse. Mr.. Russell
is no longer connected with the Demo.
crat, and is making a very successful
postmaster, with whose administration
the people are satisfied.

The historian Brunsen, who is as
likely to be right as Clinton, Smith,
or Usher, fixes the date of the exodus
of the lsraelites from Egypt at 1920
b. G. The nineteenth Egyptian
dynasty began about 1910, and
Rameses II. came to the throne some
Internationally years afterward.
These considerations are Interesting
in view Of the fact that recently the
mummy of this monarch was I'M
swathed and found in such a wonder
full state of preservation that no
difficulty whatever is found in per-
celving what manner of man the
King was. 1t is hard to conceive a
subject more calculated to impress
the imagination than reflection on
the contrast between the world as it
existed when the mummy was con-
signed to the tomb, and as it exists
now, when, for the first time after a
lapse of thousands of years, the body
is restored to the light of day 1t is
a theme which might make dull
man eloquent, SO pregnant is it in
suggestion. kameses III. reigned for
some sixty-seven years, from about
1911 to 1916 B. c., and was nearly
100 years old at the time of his death,
when he was succeeded by his son,
whose mummy was also unbandaged
not long ago. The elder and greater
King Gf Bunsen be correct, though
authorities differ by as much as four
centuries) was contemporary of
Moses, and now photographs of his
body may be seen. 1t seems marvel
Gus that such details as are noted
should be distinguishable The beard
and mustache, for instance, are said
to be there. 'sThey seem to have
been kept shaven during life; but
more probably allowed to grow dur
ing the Kings last illness"

TIE FARMERs.-There are in
America over four million farms,
large and small. They cover nearly
three hundred million acres of i'm.
proved land, and their total value is
something like ten thousand million
dollars. These figures are not of
course comprehensive. They sim
ply convey the idea of vastness of
area and equal vastness of Importance.
The estimated value of the yearly
product of these farms is between
two and three thousand millions of
dollars. What America takes out of
the ground, therefore, has much to do
with the prosperity and happiness Of
the nation. What helps the farmer
helps us all. His well-tilled acres
are the heart of the Republic, and
each pulse drives the products of the
country into every market on the
planet. Congress has been asked to
establish an experimental farm in ev-
ery State and Territory at cost of
$4,000 each. 1t will encourage the
tillers of the soil, and show them the
results of methods which they cannot
afford to test for themselves. 1t will
be money well spent. BY all means
take good care of the farmers.
